Wild Bread - Handbaked
sourdough artisan breads in your own kitchen $16.95 plus shipping. Available
in Flagstaff at The Seasoned Kitchen. We also sell on
Amazon, but encourage you to buy from this Web site.

This book explores what goes on inside dough as
it is transformed from water, flour, wild yeast and probiotic
bacteria into the kind of bread that makes your mouth water. You may
never be satisfied with ordinary bread again. Once you learn what
factors affect aroma, flavor, shape, crust and crumb, you too will
be transformed — into an artisan. Wild Bread encourages your
creativity and provides the basic principles you need to bake any
bread you desire without needing a recipe.
Wild bread also explores
baking bread sustainably in solar cookers and wood-fired earth
ovens.

Wild
Bread teaches you how to make authentic whole grain sourdough
artisan breads that are easy to knead by hand and make in the
variable temperatures and humidities of an ordinary kitchen.

Part I explains the science and care of sourdough
ecosystems, including how to capture your own sourdough culture
from the air and where to buy authentic cultures from around the
world.

Part II explains how to make bread, including how to grind
your own wholegrain flours and bake artisan-style breads in a
home oven.

Part IV introduces you to the world of sustainable bread
baking, with an exploration of energy-efficient solar cookers
and wood-fired earth and brick ovens.

Part V contains a variety of information to improve your
bread baking, including commercial sources for authentic
sourdough culture, bread troubleshooting tips, sources for
sustainably-produced grains and flours, and books and DVDs on
sourdough and artisan bread baking.

Review

"One of the Best! A MUST HAVE for every serious bread enthusiast!
...To be perfectly honest, I did not have high expectations
especially because I (like many others) have an inordinate fondness
for full color splashy photographs, rich paper and enticing ad copy.
The promise of simple binding, a few drawings and an unknown author
didn't seem promising. To my great surprise, this book QUICKLY
went to the top of my "must keep" list. The reading is engaging,
very enjoyable with a pleasant conversational style. The drawings -
while not full color photogaphs - are equally interesting and truly
add a great touch...but, the Real value of this book is the content
and information contained. It's absolutely packed full of relevant
content about bread-making...without a doubt this book has more
information than almost all the other books I bought including the
highly ranked books by Peter Rheinhart and Richard Bertinet...in
fact, this book contained nearly everything in both of those books
COMBINED plus much more. ..." (Five stars out of five) - JavaJunki

"Your book is
wonderful! I am so thankful to find a book that is more in
line with our values than what is available on the mass market!
Plus I would much rather support authors who are independently
publishing or otherwise operating outside of the system.
